This is my wish for you. Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, ... sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life. Have a great week. Beautiful words by: Ralph Waldo Emerson #ralphwaldoemerson #wisewords #ralphwaldoemersonquotes #wordsofwisdom #earthmonk

Remember that there is no such thing as failure. There is only learning. Sometimes you will end up learning what doesn't work and that's okay and sometimes what... seems like a terrible failure will turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to you, and the result will be better than anything you could have imagine. So freaking relax already. Words by Emily McDowell The painting is called Holy Owl by: Atha Kanaani.

"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh. There was a pause. "Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.... "No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do." "That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend. "What are you doing?" asked Pooh. "Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either. "But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh." And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right." A.A. Milne It's a challenging time for us all right now. Let’s be there for each other, let’s be kind. And we hope that you have your own Piglet you can call upon to sit beside you (or at least phone) www.earthmonk.guru - spiritual, organic and ethical clothes with soul.

Current events have inspired my introspective thinking. Over the years I believed that Wisdom = Time*Repetition. Now I have come to believe that there is a prin...ciple in my concept of Wisdom that has the effect of PI in that it's values are infinite. My Sensei called it The Three O's Principle. Open Mind(M), Open Heart(H) and Open Arms(A). Wisdom = (Time*Repetition)^MHA . These are the things I think about sometimes because my Sensei encouraged it. You may find it silly, you may find it insightful, you may just laugh, you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. See more

The feeling is evoked the moment they step on the mat - every movement and every breath has purpose. Such efficiency. Striving for perfection. Beautiful. https://fb.watch/2f_SIassD4/

Ask children whether they prefer to see smiling faces or stern ones. Obviously, the way to bring about harmony and friendship is to smile. We need to cultivate ...such childlike attributes that are actually the basis of human values. We must remember that as human beings we are the same and that we have to live together. See more
